"Putin is not willing to have peace," said Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna on Russian leader Vladimir Putin. In the talks about a ceasefire with the United States, Putin had the upper hand, Tsahkna said in a DW interview. "Russia and Putin has now the oxygen in the room and he’s using all the oxygen and he’s asking more and more because President Trump needs to deliver something. So Putin is giving some small pieces, but then naming many, many conditions." It would be wrong to give in to Russian demands and lift sanctions already. On the contrary sanctions should be tightend to have some leverage, Margus Tsahkna argued. "Let’s do hope that President Trump will understand very soon that he needs to put Putin under real pressure with sanctions, with energy sanctions, with banking sanctions with all different scales of pressure he is able to do. But the truth is that Putin is afraid of Trump as well. So this is a leverage from Trump’s side."
